Event information
The Leicester 10K is one of the region’s biggest and best-loved charity road runs!
Participants of all abilities and ages are invited to take part, whether that be as part of fundraising efforts or for their own goal or reason.
Run For All continues to deliver a safe and secure environment for all participants.
With a city centre start and finish, runners will set off from Jubilee Square before heading into the city centre and into the beautiful greenery of Victoria Park.
The scenic landscape of the park will then weave runners through the University of Leicester before passing many of the city’s landmarks including the Leicester Museum & Art Gallery and Leicester Cathedral. Participants will then head back towards the city centre for the electric finish line on Jubilee Square.
This is a stunning route in the heart of the Midlands - don't miss out. Sign up today!
